Root Explanation

Tissued → It is formed from "tissue" (from Old French *tissu*, meaning woven fabric) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action or state). The word "tissued" refers to something that has been made or formed into a fabric or structure, often implying a layered or woven quality.

Memory Tip

Think of 'tissue' as something that is 'woven' or 'formed' — when something is 'tissued', it means it has been made into a fabric or layered structure.
